معرفی
Christopher Parlett is a **Lecturer** in the **CE - Academic & Research** division at the University of Manchester, concurrently serving as a **University of Manchester-Diamond Light Source Research Fellow in Catalysis**. He leads research at the **University of Manchester at Harwell group**, focusing on heterogeneous catalytic systems and operando X-ray spectroscopy to study catalytic active sites. His work emphasizes sustainable chemical conversions, including selective oxidations and biomass upgrading, alongside functional nanomaterials for applications in gas storage and healthcare.
**Education**: PhD in Chemistry from Cardiff University (under Professors Adam F. Lee and Karen Wilson), MSc in Green Chemistry from the University of York, and BSc in Chemistry from Anglia Ruskin University.
**Research Themes**: Catalyst design, metal-support interactions, porous oxide materials, and operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy. His projects aim to develop nano-engineered materials for industrial applications, replacing costly and environmentally harmful reagents.
**Key Activities**: Organized the 25th Annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference (2021), co-edits the *Emergent Materials* journal, and chairs the SCI Early Careers Materials Committee. Active in professional organizations like the Institution of Chemical Engineers.
**Grants & Projects**: Principal Investigator for the ongoing *UoMaH: The University of Manchester at Harwell* project (since 2018), exploring nanoparticles, catalytic reactions, and advanced materials.
**Labs/Teams**: Part of the Manchester at Harwell research hub, collaborating on synchrotron-based studies and catalytic material development.
